Description
The Federal 40 S&W 180gr TMJ load is built for shooters who want more from their .40 S&W than typical factory ammunition delivers. Federal loads a 180 grain total metal jacket flat nose to a rated 950 feet per second, producing about 361 foot-pounds of energy. Federal Gold Medal Action Pistol ammunition was developed with input from top action pistol competitors. It uses Gold Medal primers and a fully enclosed total metal jacket bullet that reduces lead exposure on indoor ranges, with charges tuned for consistent velocity so competitors can make power factor match after match.

Buying ammunition by the box from the same production lot keeps velocity and point of impact consistent from one range trip to the next. Keep a record of the load you carry, check your ammunition for dents or loose bullets from time to time, and rotate your carry rounds so the ones in your firearm stay fresh. These simple habits help you get the full performance Federal builds into every cartridge.
Before you trust any new load, fire enough rounds through your firearm to confirm it feeds, fires and ejects reliably and that the point of impact matches your sights. Full-power loads produce more recoil and muzzle blast than typical range ammo, so practice with the Federal 40 S&W 180gr TMJ until you are comfortable with it, and store the rest in a cool, dry place in the original box.
The .40 S&W was introduced in 1990 by Smith and Wesson and Winchester as a shorter version of the 10mm Auto that fits in 9mm-sized pistol frames. It quickly became a leading law enforcement cartridge and is still carried by many agencies and private citizens, offering more bullet weight than the 9mm with recoil that most shooters can manage well.
